Education
University of Maryland, College Park Expected December 2021
B.S., Mechanical Engineering --- GPA: 3.996/4.000
Project Management Minor
University Honors Program
Research Experience
Guest Researcher at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) June 2020 - August 2020
Conducted research in Engineering Laboratory at NIST through the Professional Research Experience Program
Created a MATLAB script to analyze and process data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to identify and analyze motion errors along a linear axis of a machine tool
Completed all work virtually, including daily meetings with research supervisor, due to COVID-19 pandemic
NIST Engineering Laboratory Research Fellow May 2019 - August 2019
Developed a method of measuring squareness of machine tool axes using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that was more cost effective than established methods and could also be automated
Collected data from ballbar and IMU in NIST Shops and wrote G-code for machine tool axes motion
Created MATLAB analysis routine to utilize commercial ballbar data for comparison with IMU results
Presented research at the 2019 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow Colloquium at NIST
Earth Systems Science Research Program September 2017 - March 2018
Conducted research entitled “The Effect of Nitrogen Load on the Blue Crab Population in the Chesapeake Bay”
Compiled data from the U.S. Geological Survey and Winter Dredge Survey and identified correlations
Presented findings to researchers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center
Technical and Leadership Experience
Introduction to Engineering Design (ENES 100) - Clark School of Engineering February 2019 - May 2019
Fabricated an Over Sand Vehicle to locate and extinguish flames with a team of 7 and timeframe of 2 months
Designed flame-resistant arm attached to a servo motor)in order to extinguish candle flames
Constructed a working prototype of mission apparatus, including a mount for an infrared sensor to locate flames
Created weekly project update presentations to share with the class and faculty
FIRST Robotics Team 3793 December 2014 - present
Worked as a team to design and compete with a robot on a budget of $4,000 within a timeframe of six weeks
Team Captain from 2017- 201, with duties including acting as coach and representative of team at competitions
Qualified for 2017 FIRST Robotics World Championship in St. Louis (Placed third in Maryland)
Independently designed a pneumatic-actuated arm, as well as a wheeled intake mechanism that successfully held and maneuvered boxes and game pieces, a critical component of the robot
As of the 2019 FIRST season, returned to team as a mentor, guiding and instructing current members
Skills
